Farming and reading family

Although she couldn't say that she had tasted all the delicacies from land and sea before traveling through time, she had eaten a lot of good things.

In the end, I feel that whether it is the top-notch Buddha Jumps Over the Wall or the roadside pancake, they all have their own flavor.

Duan Yuping still looked like she didn't want to pay any attention to her.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Gao E said jokingly. Children from wealthy families just love to look up to others. "If you think I must have something to do... do you think the charcoal business is feasible?"

Duan Yuping then turned to look at Gao E: "You want to start a charcoal business?"

"I see that the price of charcoal in Qinzhou City has skyrocketed. It's a good business." Gao E thought this was normal.

"I think you should just give up." Duan Yuping sat up straight and lowered her eyes. "Those merchants in Qinzhou City have finally managed to make a fortune without being oppressed by the Yun family. You have no support in Qinzhou City, so you can only be bullied by them."

"That is to say... they joined forces to monopolize the charcoal trade?" Gao E analyzed.

Duan Yuping nodded: "Their goal is to make money. As long as they can sell it, what's wrong with it being poor quality and expensive?"

Gao E was speechless.

Duan Yuping looked at Gao E and said, "It seems that you are living a good life and are thinking about doing other business."

"I have to find a way to make a living. Even if I have a lot of land, I can't make it without cash." Gao E said helplessly.

"Are you complaining that I forced you to sell those lands?"

"Not really." Gao E poured water for Duan Yuping. "Since I bought it, it's my choice. Why complain about a little girl?"

Duan Yuping felt a little dissatisfied when Gao E called her "little girl", but when she thought about it, she realized that she was indeed much younger than Gao E.

"Can you be so magnanimous?" Duan Yuping didn't believe it.

"It's mainly because I made a lot of money by buying your land." Gao E said with a sad face.

When Duan Yuping heard Gao E say this, she didn't want to pay any attention to her anymore.

Gao E laughed again: "The main reason is that I am not familiar with Qinzhou City. I want to find you to understand the market and see if there is anything I can do."

She wanted to find out about the Yun and Wei families, but she couldn't speak directly. This girl was very smart to be able to go out and do things on her own. If she didn't take a bigger detour, she would definitely find out.

"I think you'd better stay in He County." Duan Yuping sneered. "Tanzhou City is now ruled by Yishun Bo and the Cao family. Anyone who disobeys them will have no good life."

"I just do some small business, so I won't involve such a big shot." Gao E said it had nothing to do with her.

Duan Yuping snorted lightly, stood up and walked to the window, and Gao E followed her.

The two were silent for a while, and then they saw three people staggering onto the street. The vendors immediately handed over their money, and those who paid slowly would be slapped on the head or kicked.

"Did you see that?" Duan Yuping glanced at Gao E.

"Bullys like this can be found everywhere." Gao E frowned.

"They're not just ordinary bullies. They're servants of the Yishun Marquis's mansion. There are at least two or three hundred of them in Tanzhou City," Duan Yuping said with a cold look in her eyes. "Anyone who opens a business will be controlled by them."

Gao E felt this was serious: "Qinzhou City is a prefecture after all, so how can they allow Yishun Bo to do whatever he wants?"

Duan Yuping turned around and sat back down. "What's wrong with the provincial government? Isn't it because the emperor is far away? Take the Yun family for example. Everyone in Qinzhou City knew that the Yun family was wronged, but who dared to say anything?"

Gao E didn't expect Duan Yuping to mention the Yun family on her own initiative: "There are so many wealthy families in Qinzhou City, why would he wrongly accuse the Yun family?"

"Who knows." Duan Yuping seemed reluctant to talk about this, but suddenly thought of something, "Maybe he's killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, or maybe he's coveting the Yun family's mountains and forests."

Gao E shuddered. "The Yun family's forest? In the hands of Earl Yishun?"

Perhaps Gao'e's reaction was a bit too much, so Duan Yuping looked at Gao'e suspiciously and asked, "Do you care about this?"

Gao E realized that she had overreacted and did not avoid the question: "Of course, I want to do charcoal business, and I originally wanted to buy some wood from the mountains outside the city. Otherwise, where would I get it?"

"Then don't even think about it." Duan Yuping tilted her head. "The Yun family's mountain is now in the hands of Lord Yishun, and they've sealed it off from anyone entering. So forget it."

Gao E sighed: "They really don't leave anyone a way out."

Duan Yuping laughed at herself, "In today's Tanzhou City, the only way to survive is the path Yishun Borang is taking."

"If you had been so insightful earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much." Yuan Chengfeng heard Duan Yuping say this when he went upstairs, with a smug smile on his face.

He wore a brocade robe with a goose-crowned red cloud pattern, a wide mink collar that reached down to his waist, an intricate waist buckle woven with colored gemstones that was particularly prominent, and a gold crown with filigree and rubies on his head.

Han Qingfeng stood behind Yuan Chengfeng. He was tall and could not hide his figure even if he turned sideways and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't dare to leave since Yuan Chengfeng was here.

When Duan Yuping heard the voice, she looked disgusted without even turning around.

Gao E noticed Duan Yuping's reaction and turned to look at the person who came. They say that clothes make the man, but this set of clothes is really wasted. I really don't know how this person can make luxury and vulgarity coexist so clearly.

Yuan Chengfeng didn't care about Gao E. In his eyes, Gao E's outfit was worse than that of his servants. She might have been hired by Duan Yuping to take care of her mother.

"Yuping, look who I brought with me." Yuan Chengfeng stepped aside.

Duan Yuping's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Yuan Chengfeng had brought her mother to threaten her. She turned around and saw Han Qingfeng trying hard to smile, and her face immediately turned pale.

Gao E sat aside and watched the expressions of these people, and felt that their relationship seemed very complicated.

"I originally wanted to go to your house to find you, but ended up seeing you here. It's really fate." Yuan Chengfeng said as he approached Duan Yuping.

Duan Yuping immediately stood up and stood aside: "I dare not have any fate with Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Chengfeng didn't care about Duan Yuping's indifference. He sat directly where Duan Yuping stood up. When he was about to speak, he saw Gao E sitting opposite him, so he looked at Gao E with disgust.

Gao E looked at Master Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"Get up! How can you sit opposite my master?" An attendant immediately scolded Gao E.

"But... this is my seat, and I ordered the tea." Gao E looked innocent.

Yuan Chengfeng had never seen a woman in Qinzhou City who dared to challenge him: "Get lost!"

Gao E was frightened and thought that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so she was ready to get up and leave, but it seemed a bit unfair to leave Duan Yuping here alone.

Duan Yuping immediately pulled Gao E up and protected her behind her: "Mr. Yuan, this is my relative."

Yuan Chengfeng laughed out loud when he heard Duan Yuping say this: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Who doesn't have a few poor relatives?"

Duan Yuping frowned but could do nothing when she heard this. Yuan Chengfeng came to see her specifically, and she couldn't avoid him whether Gao E was there or not.

"Since you are my relative, I will tell you straight away what you think about our relationship." Yuan Chengfeng looked at Duan Yuping arrogantly.
